When you first look at this lampshade, you would barely know its origins; it has the look of a lampshade found in a 1960’s. Till now the materials used to make these fantastic lampshades is just recycled cola bottles that have been put aside from the landfill. These lampshades are the formation of Sarah Turner, who uses approximately ten bottles in the medium-sized table lampshade. It is an unbelievable idea that uses up one of the actual nasties of waste disposal, plastic drinks bottles.

Information shows that about 1,500 bottles of packaged drinking water are consumed each and every second around the world and about 80% of all these bottles reach the landfills. This means that every minute in the world’s population is adding more than 72,000 plastic water bottles to the landfills, which end up polluting the limited freshwater sources

New York-based graphic design agency is producing an installation that inspires people to recycle plastic water bottles used by them into a beautiful piece of art. The installation uses 1,500 water bottles, which is precisely the number of bottles used ever second.

As you think about it, plastic bottles are great since they can be used over again and for numerous different things. So really, there is no need to all the way through them away as we know they can be used to formulate other products. This cycle can go on for some time awaiting that one person who throws the product into the bin.

But as a substitute of using these bottles to make other bottles, some artists are using them to make some really complicated and beautiful sculptures. These serve two purposes, one they are great to look at and secondly they remind people that the plastic bottle are not for the dust bin they have many uses, like these pieces of excellent work.
